Chardonnay Glarea 2021/24 - 13,5% vol. Winery Termeno

Description: 
The name Glarea stems from Rhaeto-Romance language and means a pile of gravel, a clear reference to the composition of the soil in the vineyards. 
Glarea is straw yellow with greenish hues. Ripe banana, apricot and pineapple dominate in the nose. This Chardonnay tastes fresh and juicy and is characterised by fullness and a distinctive minerality. Glarea is an all-rounder and can be paired with any first course that is savoury in flavour, from vegetable minestrone to spaghetti with clams. It tastes marvellous with tasty fish or delicate white meat dishes. Also try it with your pizza, especially if topped with buffalo mozzarella.

Chardonnay - South Tyrol DOC
